IFA chief renews call for legislation to ensure ‘fair play’ for producers

IFA president John Bryan has renewed his call on the Government to prioritise fair trade legislation, which must rebalance the food supply chain and deliver a return to producers that covers their costs and gives them a living.

The IFA leader said the Government should not ignore the strong support at the recent IFA protest outside Dáil Éireann. This was a clear message that must be heeded, he said.

He made the call after the announcement by the British government that a Groceries Code Adjudicator Bill will be introduced there shortly.
